RE: gray suit
I've been psychoanalyzing the reactions of various posters to the gray suit and have concluded that posters who don't care one way or the other are normal, some are gray hair phobic and some are gray hair philic. You must admit that suit does emphasize KO's gray hair!

That'll be 2 cents please.

(Do you realize that there is no cent symbol on these new keyboards.........hmmmm....when did that happen? There's a dollar sign......and a few signs I never use and don't know what they mean but no cent symbol.........prices have gone up so much I guess the lowly cent symbol has been eliminated!)

2. not even close
I don't mind gray hair -- his is attractive and mine is still largely unnoticeable, as it's gradually supplanting what used to be platinum highlights. (Honestly -- took me a while to convince one of my sisters that I was going gray.) I don't like the contrast between the light gray suit and his skin tones, more specifically, his skin tones in makeup. He simply looks better in darker colors, like charcoal.

And Whirly -- that "taupe" suit in post 24 of the other thread is the same suit as the "gray" suit in the original picture at the top of the thread! It's all a matter of lighting.

3. gk, I know you and I have been around the corral more than once about ...
...the taupe suit, but I posted a link to another photo (now defunct) which clearly showed a suit of DISTICTLY DARKER AND GREENISH-BROWN tinge, and that is the TAUPE SUIT... so, nyah!:-)

I think dark suits have a tendency to make KO look a tad stern, on account of the contrast with his pale complexion.

IMO, Keith looks best in autumn colors -- starting with the beloved brown suit,
and moving thru the russets http://olbermann.org/ko/photo_detail.cfm?photos_id=41
and garnets/maroons http://olbermann.org/ko/photo_detail.cfm?photos_id=119.

4. um. that "taupe suit" of which you speak must have ridden off
on a unicorn. I'm not remembering the photo you describe. I'm just saying those two pics in the other 'gray suit' thread are actually the same suit under different lighting. As for the two pics in the post I'm responding to, second pic very nice, first pic :scared: , did he put on his makeup in the dark?

7. I'm not being deliberately dense
I truly don't remember it.

You should see what I'm like when I'm trying to be stoopid... (I'm really good at it.)

6. I had thought there was something goofy about the way we were always...
... wanting to dress him -- until Keith's staff presented Keith with those PAJAMA PANTS and slippers last Friday.

We are off the hook! (Not to mention totally bonkers!)
